Mosque of Prophet (s) surrounded by crowds of people

Come to Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ With Sincere Love

January 17, 2025 January 18, 2025

From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen, was salaatu was salaamu ‘alaa Ashrafil Mursaleen, Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadul Mustafa ﷺ. Madad ya Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem, Ya Habibul ‘Azeem, unzur halana wa ishfa’lana, ‘abidona bi madadikum wa nazarekum.

Atiullah wa atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum. Always a reminder for myself, ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re still in existence.

أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُم… ﴿٥٩﴾‏ …

4:59 – “…Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Surat an-Nisa)

“…Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you…” (The Women, 4:59)

Miladun Nabi ﷺ Has a Timeless Importance

Always a reminder for myself ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and that for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are still in existence. We took a path in which to be nothing and alhamdulillah, that we are under the rahmah and mercy of Allah (AJ) that guided us into this immense love, immense blessings. Alhamdulillah, Surat An-Naml and the realities of TaSeen that we have been talking about is a Divinely fire.

This month of Miladun Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ) is an immense, immense reality. That many have talked of the physicality of the birth of Prophet ﷺ but much deeper is the reality of the world of light, of malakut (heavenly realm). The reality of light, when we study it and study these realities, it gives an immense and timeless importance.

Allah (AJ) is a Hidden Treasure Wanting to be Known

That awliyaullah’s (saints) knowledges that Allah (AJ) is a hidden treasure wanting to be known.

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: “‏ كُنْت كَنْزاً مخفيا فَأَحْبَبْت أَنْ أُعْرَفَ؛ فَخَلَقْت خَلْقاً فَعَرَّفْتهمْ بِي فَعَرَفُونِي.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – بِحَارْ اَلْأنْوَارْ، اَلْعَلَامَةْ اَلْمَجْلِسِيْ، جُزْء ٨٤، صَفْحَة ١٩٩]

Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Kuntu kanzan makhfiyya, fa ahbabtu an a’rafa, fa khalaqtu khalqan, fa ‘arraftahum bi fa ‘arafonee.”
[Hadith al Qudsi – Behar al Anwar, Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Juz’ 84, Safha 199]

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “I was a hidden Treasure then I desired to be known, so I created a creation to which I made Myself known; then they knew Me.” [Holy Hadith – Bihar al Anwar, by Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Volume 84, Page 199]

Miladun Nabi ﷺ is When Allah (AJ) Wants to Be Known

That “La ilaha illAllah” is always hidden. You’ll never know it and wanted to be known and as a result created “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ”.

لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌا رَسُولْ الله

“La ilaha illallahu Muhammadun Rasulallah”

“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

Ancient – qadim. Every reality is within this kalimah (testimony). Nothing is outside of it. That this whole journey of ours is to experience the love and the reality of La ilaha illAllah. It means then the Milad is when Allah (AJ) wanted to be known. Why awliyaullah (saints) come into our lives and teach us? Because many zahiri (external understanding) people say, ‘Oh, these are controversial. Why we have to focus on this?’ Not controversial for us. It means if you’re an external person, your uloom and understanding is very limited like kindergarten. There’s no more discussion. But these knowledges of malakut and the world of light, they’re immense haqqaiqs and realities.

Follow the Way of Prophet ﷺ to Reach Allah’s Love (Holy Qur’an, 3:31)

That this celebration, these events, the preparing for it, the arriving of it, the supporting of it is opening our way into the realities of La ilaha illAllah. “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni.” Allah (AJ) gave us the guidance, the secret.

﴾قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِيْ يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّـهُ … ﴿٣١

3:31 – “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni, yuhbibkumullahu…” (Surat Ali ‘Imran)

“Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you …” (Family of Imran, 3:31)

‘Tell them: if they want My love, follow you, Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger), ya Habibul ‘Azim (The Magnificent Beloved).’ “Yuhbibkumullah”. If they were successful in reaching the reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, Allah (AJ) granting love.

Allah (AJ) didn’t say, ‘I love you if you pray.’ Allah (AJ) didn’t say, ‘I love you if you do this, if you love this, I love…’ No. Say, ‘I’ll love you. Tell them. Tell them if they want My love,’ because all creation is searching for Allah’s (AJ) love. All the prophets (as) of Allah (AJ) were searching for Allah’s (AJ) love and rida (satisfaction). Everything they did, “Ilahi anta maqsudi wa radhaaka matloob.” ‘Asking Your forgiveness and grant me Your satisfaction’.

اِلَهِى اَنْتَ مَقْصُوْدِيْ وَرِضَاكَ مَطْلُوْبِيْ

“Ilahi anta maqsudi wa radhaaka matloob”

“My God, You are my aim, and Your Satisfaction is what I seek.”

Gain Allah’s (AJ) Love Through His Habib

But whom Allah (AJ) gave love to was Habibullah (The beloved of Allah (AJ)) that, ‘I shared My name with his name and his reality ﷺ. That this is My habib (beloved)’ because Allah (AJ) is praising His own reality that hidden within that reality. That, ‘If you’re looking for My love, it’s with My habib’.

So, these names are supposed to be clues for us. This is not supposed to be a difficult journey. HabibAllah. Everyone else is searching for love from Allah (AJ) hoping they do the right thing and maybe Allah (AJ) will love them. This love we’re talking about is the haqqaiq of love and ishq and muhabbat. Allah (AJ) loves all His creation, but to be dressed by Allah’s (AJ) love and grace and to be blessed by it eternally in which Allah (AJ) is describing, ‘I become the hearing in which you hear’.

عَنْ أَبِيِ هُرَيْرَةِ رَضِّيَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَىٰ قَالَ:” …وَمَا تَقَرُّبِ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِيِ بِشَيْءٍ أَحُبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا اِفْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتَ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا، وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا. وَلَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّهُ… “ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلمَصْدَرْ: صَحِيحْ الْبُخَارِي – رقم:٦٥٠٢]

‘An Abi Hurairah (ra) qala, Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ: InnAllaha ta’ala qala: “ Wa maa taqarrubi ilayya ‘abdi be shayin ahubba ilayya memma iftaradhtu ‘alayhi. Wa la yazaalu ‘abdi yataqarrabu ilayya binnawafile hatta uhebbahu, fa iza ahbabtuhu kunta Sam’ahul lazi yasma’u behi, wa Basarahul lazi yubsiru behi, wa Yadahul lati yabteshu beha, wa Rejlahul lati yamshi beha. Wa la in sa alani la a’teyannahu, …” [Hadith al Qudsi, Sahih al Bukhari, Raqam: 6502)

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra) that: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that: Allah the Almighty said: “…My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts of worship so that I shall love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask (something) of Me, I would surely give it to him, …” [Holy Hadith, Authentic by al-Bukhari, # 6502]

Acquire Divinely Attributes Through Your Voluntary Acts of Worship

Allah’s (AJ) gift is not something cheap. Allah’s (AJ) love, when it comes, it’s coming through this Hadith al Qudsi (Holy Hadith). ‘You did your fard (obligatory). Now you’re coming through love, not what’s mandatory.’ You come through the actions of love by volunteering to do. Wajib (mandatory), you have to do. There’s no discussion. We don’t think there’s a reward in what was mandated. Did you ever get a reward for going 35 miles an hour where the police give you a congratulatory trophy at the end of the road? No, you get the reward if you go 65 miles an hour. ‘It’s a 150 bucks. Here you go, here’s your reward for today.’

Yeah, but wajib is this mandatory. This reality Allah (AJ) is giving to us is come through love. That, ‘Come and do that actions that show your love and I’ll become your hearing eternally’ because Allah (AJ) said, ‘I didn’t…give you good ears.’ But He gave the attribute, not the physical, not the known but, ‘I’ll be your hearing eternally.’ What you’ll hear through your soul here and hereafter. What you’ll hear, it’s not the same rank as somebody who just died in a regular state.

Ahlul Basirah are Those Who See What Allah (AJ) Wants Them to See

‘If I granted My hearing and you still came and you still did voluntary acts and these are acts of love and you show your actions of love, I may open and become your seeing; not eyes. I’ll be you’re seeing.’ You become Ahlul Basirah (the people of spiritual vision) in which your heart and soul sees what Allah (AJ) wants you to see which has no limit. Nobody can give us a daleel (proof) that it can’t be seen. It’s just not seen by them.

But what Allah (AJ) want to open to the servant – infinite and un… unparalleled, unimaginable. ‘I’ll become the breathing in which you breathe, I become the tongue in which you speak, I become the hands in which you feel. Yadullah (hand of Allah (AJ)).’ It means that your hand will have power in mulk (earthly realm) and in malakut. “Tabarakal ladhee biyadihil mulk”.

﴾تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿١

67:1 – “Tabarakal ladhee biyadihil mulku wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay in qadeer.” (Surat Al-Mulk)

“Blessed is He in Whose hands is Dominion/kingdom; and He has Power over all things.” (The Sovereignty, 67:1)

You have a tabarak in the mulk and “Subhanal ladhee biyadihi mulk” and that, ‘You’ll have My glory upon your hand in malakut’.

﴾فَسُبْحَانَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿٨٣

36:83 – “Fasubhanal ladhee biyadihi Malakotu kulli shay in wa ilayhi turja’oon.” (Surat YaSeen)

“Therefore Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion/ kingdom over everything in heavens, and to Him you will be returned.” (YaSeen, 36:83)

That, ‘I’ll give you hands that have power in the physical domain and I give you an authority within the world of light.’ Allah’s (AJ) Hand on your hand, something unimaginable.

Seek to Be in Divinely Service for Eternity

What happens when you die and your eternal journey where Allah (AJ) sending you after with this entire dress? For all of eternity, the servant is being dressed by this reality and that, ‘I’ll dress your feet and your qadam (foot), that you’ll always and eternally be in My service. When I dress your feet, it doesn’t mean you have nice shoes.’ You become muqaddam (the one who follows upon the footsteps), qaddam al-Haq (on the footstep of the truth) wa qaddam as-Siddiq (on the footstep of the truthful). Those whom follow the path in which Allah (AJ) wants and eternally you’ll follow that path, eternally.

Wherever Allah (AJ) sends you on your next journey because this journey doesn’t end here. Where Allah (AJ) send you to represent Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ? In infinite creations that are opening at every moment. What you dress upon the eternal soul can’t be understood. ‘Once I dress your feet, dressed your hands, dressed your sight, your speech, your breath, I what? Make your lordly. I make you Rabbaniyoon (Lordly Souls).’

عَنْ أَبِيِ هُرَيْرَةِ رَضِّيَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ‏،‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ‏:‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَىٰ قَالَ‏:”‏… وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْت سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا، وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا، وَلَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّهُ،…” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – صَحِيحْ الْبُخَارِي – رقم:٦٥٠٢]

‘An Abi Hurairah (ra) qala, Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ : InnAllaha ta’ala qala: “ …, wa la yazaalu ‘Abdi yataqarrabu ilayya bin nawafile hatta ahebahu, fa idha ahbabtuhu kunta Sam’ahul ladhi yasma’u behi, wa Basarahul ladhi yubsiru behi, wa Yadahul lati yabTeshu beha, wa Rejlahul lati yamshi beha, wa la in sa alani la a’Teyannahu, …”
[Hadith Qudsi, Sahih al Bukhari, Raqam: 6502)

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra) that: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that: Allah the Almighty said: “…My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts of worship so that I shall love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him…” [Holy Hadith, Authentic by al-Bukhari, # 6502]

Rabbaniyoon Surrender Their Will to Allah (AJ)

You’re not house of commons, you’re but the house of lords and you will… whatever you want will come with power of “Kun faya koon.”

﴾إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٨٢

36:82 – “Innama AmruHu idha Arada shay an, an yaqola lahu kun faya koon.” (Surat YaSeen)

“His Command is when He Wills/Intends a thing, He says to it, “Be,” and it is!” (YaSeen, 36:82)

It’s Hadith al Qudsi. ‘So much so they become Rabbaniyoon and merely they kun faya koon.’ What they ask from Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ) begin to offer it. Why? Because they been trained. This is not happening in opening randomly to servants, but they were trained in this ocean of love. They were trained in the discipline of this ocean of reality. That their will matches Allah’s (AJ) Will because they surrendered their will. They gave their money. They gave their time. They gave everything from this dunya (material world) that Allah (AJ) wanted from them.

Then Allah (AJ) says, ‘Only thing that really matters for Me after you did all those, give Me your will that separates you from an animal.’ What separates us from the animal kingdom is Allah (AJ) say, ‘I gave you the most powerful. Your most powerful gift is your free will. You have the ability to manifest. You’re a very powerful creation.’

Humans are a Powerful Creation That Shaitan Depletes Everyday

We talked about in energy – you have 1.4 volts in every cell in your body and how many? 70 trillion cells in the body. With 1.4 volts, you have about 90 trillion volts of energy from what scientists say. They’re not putting in the equation, the power of your soul. This is just from what they stood of zahiri knowledge.

So, it means Allah’s (AJ) servants have 90 trillion volts of energy. But shaitan is depleting their battery cell everyday so they don’t even have ten volts of energy. They can barely get out of bed to do anything. It means Allah (AJ) granted us all these powers, all these realities, all these blessing going to dress that you’re…‘I was a hidden treasure wanting to be known.’

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” كُنْت كَنْزاً مخفيا فَأَحْبَبْت أَنْ أُعْرَفَ؛ فَخَلَقْت خَلْقاً فَعَرَّفْتهمْ بِي فَعَرَفُونِي.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – بِحَارْ اَلْأنْوَارْ، اَلْعَلَامَةْ اَلْمَجْلِسِيْ، جُزْء ٨٤، صَفْحَة ١٩٩]

Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Kuntu kanzan makhfiyya, fa ahbabtu an a’rafa, fa khalaqtu khalqan, fa ‘arraftahum bi fa ‘arafonee.” [Hadith al Qudsi – Behar al Anwar, Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Juz’ 84, Safha 199]

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “I was a hidden Treasure then I desired to be known, so I created a creation to which I made Myself known; then they knew Me.” [Holy Hadith – Bihar al Anwar, by Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Volume 84, Page 199]

Come to Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ With Sincere Love

So, it means then awliyaullah (saints) come into our lives that this journey is immense. These gifts are immense. These are not something small. The beginning of this reality is in the secret of Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ). The Milad is the event of the event horizon. That when the servant wants to understand and comes with ishq and love, this is the love Allah (AJ) is talking about.

Not that you love the dunya (material world) things and that you’re only loving person. That’s nice too because you love pets. You love squirrels in the backyard. You love everything – this is very nice. But had it been the love that Allah’s (AJ) dressed you with, you would have loved Allah (AJ) and an immense love Allah (AJ) would have directed you towards the love of Sayyidina Muhammad. ﷺ That’s the love Allah (AJ) is directing at, looking for. Your love for everything else should have led you to what the real source of love was and ishq and muhabbat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. With that love, they would give themself in an instant.

We Cannot Reach La Ilaha IllAllah Without First Understanding Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ

It means that they’re consistently looking on how to please Allah (AJ), how to get the nazar (gaze) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and that to have the kholoq and the character that would make Prophet ﷺ happy with them. They feed for that sake. They serve for that sake. They do everything that they do for the sake of that nazar. That when Prophet ﷺ begin to look upon them, that the goodness and the goodness of character and the immense love and muhabbat that begin to enter into their heart, the real love. That real love makes them to love everything in this creation because they understood that it’s all created by the light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.

How you’re going to get to La ilaha illAllah but you don’t yet understand Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, right? Does it make logic now? Logical sense? Say, ‘No, Shaykh. I only want to know about La ilaha illAllah’. How? How could you possibly know something like that when we’re talking about the immensity of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. You still baffled? That all this manifested light is what? It’s Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Everything made from this light is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Bahrul Muheet (All Encompassing Ocean), an ocean in which everything is encompassed within it.

Surrender Your Will Through the Reality of La Ilaha IllAllah

So, then ‘ashiqeen (lovers) that awliyaullah (saints) are by command of Allah (AJ) whom guides, Allah (AJ) sends the servant to be guided. That, ‘Come, come and surrender your will.’ Allah (AJ) wants that back. Once you gave and once you gave and once you served because those are the hard ones. When you did all of those, then you come and Allah (AJ), ‘Put your will upon the table.’ That, you don’t know and the heavens knows. I know nothing and I’m going to take a path in which to empty myself.

Now the zikr (Divine remembrance) of La ilaha illAllah is now opening for the servant. That’s why all the tariqahs start with the first zikr, ‘La ilaha illAllah’ but didn’t really open for them. They’re doing it by imitation. But when Allah (AJ) want the servant to surrender their will, they move their light from La [forehead], ilaha [right side of chest], illAllah – to the heart because you see it in reverse on the camera. Up, right, left. Up, right, left. They begin to open the reality of La ilaha illAllah.

Revive Your Heart With the Power of Zikr and Your Love of Prophet ﷺ

When Allah (AJ) want for them to surrender their will, then be nothing. Come against your character. Come against your desire. Come against all the badness but you have to have that love to fill it with because if you’re nothing, what are you going to substitute that with? With Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.

So, they also know that in that La ilaha illAllah, they can enter a state in which to shut their existence down, to enter a state of death. They revive and resuscitate their heart with the zikr of Muhammadun Rasulallah. “La ilaha illAllah, La ilaha illAllah” and they begin to lower their beat and in khalwah, in seclusion, they can enter a state of death and revive the heart with Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ to enter into these oceans of reality. The immensity of these realities, something completely understood, not understand, unknown. Wat they want from us is that the Milad is something immense, immense.

Discover Allah’s (AJ) Reality Within Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ

It’s about the love of Allah (AJ), it’s about being thankful for whatever Allah (AJ) is bringing for us, the deen (religion) that he sent for us, the holy Qur’an that he’s given to us, the personality and the persona of the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that given to us. ‘I given you all these favors so that you would know Me’. That’s why Allah (AJ) continuously through Qur’an, “Khuluqal ‘azheem”.

﴾وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿٤

68:4 – “Wa innaka la’ala khuluqin ‘azheem.” (Surat Al-Qalam)

“Truly, You (O Muhammad!) are of a magnificent character.” (The Pen, 68:4)

Hence, Allah (AJ) praises His reality because that reality resides within the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ continuously hinting to us this greatness, this beatific reality if you find it in Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, you found the treasure of Allah (AJ), you found that reflection of Allah (AJ) and the closest that you can reach to that reality is through the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because you have to traverse.

Allah (AJ) Resides in the Heart of the Believer, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

You traverse Muhammadun Rasul-Allah. That’s why Hadith says, ‘I’m not in heaven, I’m not on Earth. Where are you looking? Where are you searching out there, searching out here? But I’m in the heart of My believer. I’m in the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. I reside within that reality for you to be..’ and direct ourselves to where?

عَنْ وَهَبِ بِنْ مُنَبِّهْ، قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” مَا وَسِعَنِيْ لَا سَمَائِيْ وَلَا اَرْضِيْ وَلَكِنْ وَسِعَنِيْ قَلْبِ عَبْدِيْ اَلْمُؤْمِنْ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلْغَزَالِي فِي اَلْإحْيَاء، وَ اِبنِ عَرَبِي فِي اَلْتَرَاجِمْ، صفحه ٢٢٤]

‘An Wahab ibn Munabbeh, Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Maa wasi’anee laa samayee, wa la ardee, laakin wasi’anee qalbi ‘Abdi al Mu’min.” [Hadith al Qudsi, Al Ghazali fi al Ihyaa, wa Ibn ‘Arabi fi al Tarajim, Safha 224]

Narrated by Wahab the son of Munabbeh that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “Neither My Heavens nor My Earth can contain Me, but the heart of my Believing Servant.” [Holy Hadith, by Imam al-Ghazali in Al Ihya, and by Ibn ‘Arabi in al Tarajib, Page 224]

So that when we become Muhammadiyoon, when we keep the character, keep that love, keep the ishq and begin to love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ more than we love ourselves – this is the station of faith. ‘Ya Umar (as) you have to love me more than you love yourself.’ This is iman (faith).

وَعَنْ عُمَرَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: فَوَجَدْتُ نَفْسِي أَقُولُ: وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ! فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: ” أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟” قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ ﷺ: ” أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مَالِكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟” قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ ﷺ: ” أَكْثَرَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟” قَالَ: لَا.

“.فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: “لَا يَا عُمَرُ، لَا يَكْمُلُ إِيمَانُكَ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ

Faqala anNabiyu ﷺ: “La ya ‘Umar, la yakmulu imanoka hatta akuna ahabba ilayka min nafsika.”

Yaqoolo ‘Umar (as): Fakhrajtu fafakkartu. Thumma ‘udtu ahtafu biha: Wallahi ya Rasulullahi la anta ahabbu ilayya min nafsi. Faqala anNabiyu ﷺ: “Alan ya ‘Umar, alan.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Majladu al-Rabi’o, raqm al-hadith 594]

Narrated by Sayyidina ‘Umar (as) that he said: “I found myself saying, ‘By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I love you!’ The Prophet (pbuh) said to him, ‘Is it more than your love for your family, O ‘Umar?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He (pbuh) said, ‘Is it more than your love for your wealth, O ‘Umar?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Is it more than your love for yourself, O ‘Umar?’ He said, ‘No.’

The Prophet (pbuh), said, ‘No, O ‘Umar, your faith will not be complete until I become more beloved to you than your own self.’ Sayyidina ‘Umar (as) said: So I went out and thought. Then I returned and shouted, ‘By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, you are more beloved to me than myself.’ The Prophet (pbuh) said, ‘Now, O ‘Umar, now [you got it].’ [Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Hadith #594]

Tariqahs are the Way to Become Muhammadiyoon

The station of faith means the light and the belief in Allah (AJ) is because now you’re in a Muhammadan dress, you have the love of Prophet ﷺ and Hadith many… all these Hadith are these reality. ‘You be with whom you love.’

عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: … فَقَالَ (رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ): ” أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ.” ]اَلْمَصْدَرْ: مُسْلِمْ:. ٧٥٢٠ ]

‘An Anasin (ra): … Faqala (Rasulullahi) ﷺ: “Anta ma’a man ahbabta.”

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (ra) that …the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “You will be with whom you love.” [Source: Muslim 7520]

So who’s the best to be with? As a result of this love, you carry that Muhammadan reality in the dress of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ then is the opening to the reality of La ilaha illAllah. At that time when the servant and the students entered the turuqs (spiritual paths) because the turuqs are the way to make Muhammadiyoon. Their only job is to break you down, destroy everything because it’s not the Hajj (pilgrimage). So this now a real Hajj. The other one is a tourist occasion but that was a concept of the Hajj. ‘Come with all your fancy clothes, we don’t care.’ Allah (AJ) says, ‘Take it down all the way to two white robes to who your real identity in Allah’s (AJ) way. We don’t care. You’re a king, you’re a pauper, put the two white robes on.’

Embrace Nothingness to Become Muhammadiyoon

Same that you want to come to that reality, be nothing. Come down with all the identity, the turuqs are only for that reality, break them down. Take away the nafs (ego) and the bad character and the identity. Once they enter into that nothing, nothing, nothing, what Allah (AJ) wants, what Allah (AJ) is pleased with, what Allah (AJ) loves to look at is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So then become Muhammadiyoon, fill your heart with that love, fill your heart with that good character, the beatific fragrance, what these na’ats (prophetic praising) are reciting, who’s the one who is beautiful? Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.

Who was the one who was khushbu and beatific fragrance of the soul. So means these are all the… they exhibit all the beauty that Allah (AJ) loves. Be Muhammadiyoon, Rabbaniyoon. Be of these people who ‘ashiqiyoon (lovers) and as a result, this is the best of character. As soon as they exemplify this characteristics then what? Allah (AJ) begins to dress with a Divinely love and in that… in that reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ their zikr (Divine remembrance) of Allah (AJ), ‘Allah (AJ), La ilaha illAllah,’ all of that is real. Without Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ the zikr of an imitated zikr.

Miladun Nabi ﷺ Ignites Your Spark of Love

We pray that Allah (AJ) grant us that when we come for the Milad like a spark because they’re coming for that love. Allah (AJ) say, ‘Okay, you got the love in you, you came all this distance, you’re watching late at night, early morning, wherever you are on the map, you got the love now.’ As a result of that love, it’s a spark within the heart. That Allah (AJ) is giving that, ‘I’m a hidden treasure want to be known,’ and begin to open that spark, that reality of this ishq and this love and this is what awliyaullah and those whom been trained by them, this is the barakah (blessings) of their existence. The first thing they do wherever they go is establish the Milad, establish the reality. This is the spark that ignites their students hearts and elevates them and raises them.

That’s why the other na’at – this karam of the agha (master). You don’t attribute this to yourself. This is the gift of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, the immensity of its station. That as soon as they celebrating, as soon as they enter into these majlis (association), as soon as they have this love these lights are shining on people. Others are wondering, ‘How you achieved this?’ Say, ‘I have no idea. I went to an association and everything changed. My lights changed.’ And that association can be online, can be however it’s being broadcasted all over the world. We pray that Allah (AJ) grant us from the immensities of the lights of Miladun Nabi ﷺ and to have a continuous love and ishq of the majlis of zikrs and the majlis of salli ‘alan Nabi ﷺ.

Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.

InshaAllah we have a few questions, you have a busy, busy program inshaAllah tomorrow and Jum’ah (Friday) mubarak for wherever people are. InshaAllah immense, immense blessings of the Jum’ah and the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.

Question 1: Sayyidi, what is the relationship between different types of stars and the personalities and the tribes of mankind appearing here on Earth?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Oh, I have no idea. Where is that from? No, we have to ask Hajji Imran.

Question 2: As salaam alaykum, Sayyidi. Do you have any advice for the coming week how to celebrate? Anything for us to do?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Do the Milad (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ), yeah.

Audience: Anything more?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Huh?

Audience: Anything more?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Whatever you can do of goodness, alhamdulillah. Allah (AJ) grant you the reward of an immense, immense weekend, inshaAllah. Immense month and anything we do in the way of love has an immense reward. We said on the last weekend, I think the last couple weeks, people should really contemplate what’s being discussed. That yeah, you have to contemplate these talks. Don’t let them come and go and quickly think of something else to ask. Go deeper into the talks that when we told you these are the times of dajjal (man of deceit) and very open now. He’s going to show everybody paradise and he’s going to show everybody a fire. Be careful, be careful. Whatever you’re doing, you have to meditate, you have to contemplate. This is over-simplified so you have to use your heart to understand what we’re talking about. Anyone whom offers you, ‘This is going to be healing. This is going to be good for you. This is going to be a safety for you. This is going to be a great advice for you.’ If it’s not coming from Ahle Zikr (people of Divinely remembrance), it’s an entry way into a fire, right?

So, we just passed through that whole system, ‘Take this, take that, do this, do that.’ Why? That was a fire. They want people to enter that fire but it’s disguised as a help – paradise. It’s what Prophet ﷺ described, ‘Watch, he’s going to put up two miracles. He’s going to show you a safety. He’s going to show you a paradise. Know it’s jahannam (hellfire). Stay away from what he’s asking you to do. Then he’s going to show you a fire. Run to it.’

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَاَلَ: قَاَلَ رَسُوُلُ اَلَلَّهِ صَلَّىٓ اَلَلَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَعَهُ (أَيَ اَلَدَجْاَلَ) جَنّةً وَنَاَرْ. فَنَارُهُ جَنَّةٌ، وَجَنَّتُهُ نَارٌ (َرَوَاَهُ مُسْلِمْ)

‘An Huzaifa qala, qala Rasulullahi (saws): “Ma’ahu (aya al dajala) jannatan wa naar, fanaruhu jannatun, wa jannatuhu naarun.” (Rawahu Muslim)

Narrated Huzaifa (ra), that the messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “He has, (in reference to the man of deceit, Dajjal) the paradise and the hellfire. His fire is paradise, and his paradise is hellfire. (Sahih Muslim)

So, now look at the news. They’re making Islam to be like a fire. ‘Why you would follow? Look what they’re doing. What’s this? What’s this? This rights, those rights’. Yeah, run to that fire. They’re going to make Islam an enemy. Make it like a fire because that’s his purpose. This is the Hadith of Prophet ﷺ. So, it means contemplate and understand where you’re seeing that now everywhere. Our najat (salvation) is the guidance that coming not from Earth. These are from satellite stations. These are coming from the heart of Prophet ﷺ out to the heart and souls of awliya (saints).

That as this deceit is moving on the Earth, their encrypted connection is from soul to heart to soul. The soul to their heart to the soul of those whom are guided and destined to understand; not to their brain and not to their physicality. You may tune in and have no idea what the shaykh is talking about and they don’t care. It’s not for your head. It’s not for your body. This is a message is coming from above, from the world of light into the souls of people and that broadcast will continue to broadcast. The people of deceit and deception, they are going to put illusions on the eyes and on the ears of people.

So, it’s only protection is to have a heavenly connection through your heart and through your soul and they’re broadcasting at that reality. That’s why we talked about portals. That’s why we talked about these realities. Every time you make a madad (support) and learn how to do the madad, you’re opening up the portals of the shaykh. As soon as you make madad, the shaykhs come present with all their shaykhs with a Muhammadan dress and then this portal now is all around you. It gives you inspiration. It gives you protection, all from “HasbunAllahu wa ni’mal Wakil” and “Laa hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil ‘Aliyyil ‘Azheem.”

﴾حَسْبُنَا اللَّـهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ ﴿١٧٤

3:173 – “HasbunAllahu wa ni’mal Wakil” (Surat Aali ‘Imran)

“Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.” (The Family of ‘Imran 3:173)

وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ اِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ

“Wa laa hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil ‘Aliyyil ‘Azheem.”

“And there is no Support/strength, nor power except by Allah, The Sublimely Exalted, The Magnificent.”

There is no hawla (support) and no quwwah (power) from Allah (AJ) without the hand and the permission of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Hawla is help. Allah’s (AJ) help never reach you by yourself. Allah’s (AJ) help comes through Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, right? Common sense. Why Allah (AJ) help you if Prophet’s ﷺ not interested in you? If you’re not having the nazar (gaze) and the barakah and the blessing of Prophet ﷺ, why Allah (AJ) to do it? Something would be wrong in that. That’s why he’s Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger) because he loves Allah’s (AJ) creation, he loves all this creation. That’s why the reference to Prophet ﷺ always praying for everyone, always loving everyone because this is the job and the reality. That dress comes upon if Prophet ﷺ is watching and dressing. The servants are receiving this rahmah (mercy) and the immensity of the blessings of Allah (AJ). It means in these times of difficulty, bring that protection. As a result, it inspires. As a result, it’s an immense protection from what’s coming especially of the fitna (confusion) of what they’re putting out. Don’t enter into those fitnas.

Don’t enter into any type of situation where you’re going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. No matter what they’re pitching it as, know that: no, it’s not that and that’s, that’s the immense difficulty. Why? Because as soon as somebody enters into that, if that is cursed by Allah (AJ), the shield of protection has now been lost and that’s all that shaitan wants with these people. He doesn’t care about their rights, don’t care anything about their rights. He wants to obliterate them and he’s doing that all over the world, obliterating them, but he wants is: lose your protection, especially Muslims. Because they interviewed the witch and the witch came and said, ‘Oh, we attack everybody but Muslims, they have a very particularly hard shield to penetrate.’

Subhanallah, Allah’s rahmah (mercy). So, they’re difficult to take down so shaitan knows, ‘Okay, I’ll take them down a different way.’ Because as soon as they enter into these situations where Allah (AJ) not pleased with, what happens? The shield of protection drops and now every type of ‘azaab (punishment) and difficulty can be inflicted upon people. But whom Allah (AJ) guides and protects through this difficult course in humanity, then truly Allah’s (AJ) rahmah and mercy upon them. That their hearts become inspired to pick up a signal, ‘No, no, no, don’t. Don’t go. Don’t do that. Don’t participate in that’ because through these heavenly channels. Anyone who wants to have that protection, make a portal, make your madad (support). Enter into that madad. Keep that madad all around so that inspirations and realities are dressing. That’s how the shaykh is surviving. We said before if the shaykh doesn’t have his madad, these vampires would be eating him. You think they’re happy with how he talks? They’re all around trying to destroy him, but the madad and the shield that Allah (AJ) has put from “Atiullah, atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum”

﴾أَطِيعُواللَّه وَأَطِيعُوٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ… ﴿٥٩…

4:59 – “…Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Surat An-Nisa)

“… Obey Allah, Obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you…” (The Women, 4:59)

Their whole structure is a protection. That Allah’s (AJ) with them, Prophet ﷺ with them and the Ulul Amr (saints) are all-encompassing as a protection for them. So, then they teach that same system. ‘Oh, don’t walk through the valley of death’. ‘Lo, although I walk through the valley of death, I fear not for my Lord is with me’. So, how you want to be with Allah (AJ)? Allah (AJ) said in Qur’an, ‘Be with nabiyeen (prophets), siddiqeen (truthful), shuhadayi (martyrs) wa saliheen (righteous). This is the best of company, Allah (AJ) with them.’

﴾وَمَن يُطِعِ اللّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاء وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقًا ﴿٦٩

4:69 – “Wa man yuti’ Allaha war Rasola faolayeka ma’al ladheena an’ama Allahu ‘alayhim minan Nabiyeena, was Siddiqeena, wash Shuhadayi, was Saliheena wa hasuna olayeka rafeeqan.” (Surat An-Nisa)

“And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger (pbuh) are in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Favours/Blessings – of the Prophets, the sincere Truthful, the Martyrs/Witnesses to the truth (who testify), and the Righteous, and excellent are those as companions.” (The Women, 4:69)

How Allah (AJ) be with you if you’re not with nabiyeen, you’re not with siddiqeen, you’re not with shuhada, and not with saliheen but say, ‘I’m with Allah (AJ)’? No, you’re wrong. You’re not with Allah (AJ). Had you been with Allah (AJ), Qur’an already gave us the prescription. You must be with nabiyeen. Prophet ﷺ must be happy with you. Then you’re with nabiyeen because the rida (satisfaction) of Prophet ﷺ with you. Imagine how Prophet’s ﷺ caravan. If Prophet’s ﷺ nazar (gaze) with you, you don’t think Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) is coming? Yeah, what’s going on? You got the attention of Prophet ﷺ, what’s happening? ‘Of course, I’m with you.’ Yeah, shuhada – all those whom see, mushahada – their hearts are open.

They’re all with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) all the time their soul. Now they begin to be around you. As a result, these blessed souls, they bring all saliheen; all the saliheen always around. That, ‘What’s going on? What’s happening?’ Then Allah (AJ) say, ‘I’m with them. But if they’re not there, that Divine protection is not there. That’s why they’re teaching. That’s why they’re teaching these realities. That we need a protection. We need a strong energy force around us that protects us from deceit, protects us from deception and brings us into an ocean of rahmah and mercy and immense Divinely love.
